‘Big data’ promised us an end to uncertainty, but we realise now that this is a myth. Uncertainty will always remain, and intuition can help us navigate it.
That’s the claim of Oded Netzer, one of the authors of Decisions Over Decimals: Striking the Balance Between Intuition and Information. On this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Oded joins Ross G and Ross D to discuss:

During the discussion, Ross D referenced the website FiveThirtyEight.com. You can find it here: fivethirtyeight.com/
In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Oded discussed Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History episode ‘My Little Hundred Million’: pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/my-little-hundred-million
Ross D referenced FiveThirtyEight (again) to explore the technology within a football: fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-world-cups-new-high-tech-ball-will-change-soccer-forever/
